Celebrate her life and take some comfort in the sweetness.<br /><br />My friend sent me a cute book about a woman who can make cake - it's total wish fulfillment but it's well written and fun. Though it makes me feel bad for not setting up my own successful cake business and saving myself from life. Still... a nice book. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0451211979/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1477422235&sr=8-1&keywords=EAt+CakeJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-12405414490164266682016-10-25T12:41:04.812-04:002016-10-25T12:41:04.812-04:00We certainly need all those things.

Cakes are usually served on happy occasions. They are on the table when joyful memories with loved ones are being made. Maybe that's why. I hope things go well for your friend, and that she is not in pain. Hugs, sweet Mary.
